This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The foundation operates in the non-profit sector focusing on sports promotion and athlete support. Its business model revolves around fundraising, sponsorships, and partnerships with national corporations. The target audience includes athletes, donors, and sports fans in Germany. The organization leverages events, awards, and media to maintain engagement and visibility. The partnership ecosystem includes Mercedes-Benz, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Telekom, PwC, Deutsche Post, and Generali/DVAG, indicating strong corporate backing. The foundation's digital presence supports its mission with clear calls to action for donations and sponsorships. Growth indicators include active social media channels and ongoing campaigns such as 'Start-up des Jahres' and team sponsorships. The website content and structure reflect a mature and professional operation with consistent branding and high-quality content.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Consent management is handled via Usercentrics, ensuring GDPR compliance for cookies and tracking. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Security headers are partially visible, but it is recommended to verify and strengthen headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options at the server level. Overall, the site balances usability and security well, with room for formalizing security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and verify comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information by including verified company emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks.

The site employs Google reCAPTCHA v2 for form protection and Usercentrics for consent management, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The presence of the eyeAble accessibility plugin indicates attention to accessibility standards. Performance is moderate with compressed CSS and JS assets, though no explicit performance metrics were available. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and clear navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience and compliance requirements.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
